For thousands of years, people have used plants to make medicines. They used different parts of the plants―the roots, the leaves, the flowers, and the bark(树皮). Today, doctors have rediscovered more medicinal(药用)values of some plants.
Let's look at some examples.
Foxglove is a common plant. People have used it to make the heart slow down. Recently scientists have developed another drug(药)from it. This new drug helps prevent other heart problems.
In some areas, malaria has been a problem. Scientists have learned that the bark
of a South American tree, the cinchona, can be made into a drug to prevent malaria.
For a long time, the Chinese have known that a special plant, wormwood, can also
fight malaria. Scientists have been working with it to develop new drugs against malaria.
In Germany, some scientists studied garlic(大蒜)for four years. They found that
it helps prevent the build-up of plaque(血小板)because too much plaque is bad for health. This very common plant continues to be studied.
As we know, there are about 250,000 kinds of flowering plants in the world. Scientists have only studied little more than one percent of plants for their medicinal value. Maybe medicines for AIDS and cancer will be made from the other
99 percent.
( )29. What can foxglove be used for?
A. Studying plants.
B. Building up the plaque.

My teenage son Karl became withdrawn(孤僻的)after his father died. As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him. But the more I tried, the more he pulled away. When his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six falling grades for the year. I considered he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged(恳求)him. Nothing worked.
One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and pleaded for help. "Please God, I can't do anything more for my son. I'm at the end of my rope. I'm giving the whole thing up to you."
I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. "I want to一talk to you about Karl's absences." Before he could say another word, I choked up (硬咽)and all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. "I love my son but I just don't know what to do. I've tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It's out of my hands. "For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, "Thank you for your time" and hung up.
Karl's next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades. Finally, he even made the honor roll. In his fourth year, I attended a parent-teacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers were quite surprised at the way he had turned himself around. On our way home, he said, “Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year?" I nodded. "That was me. I thought I'd play a joke but when
I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. That's when I knew I had to make you proud."

A team of US psychologists(心理学家)have found that talking to another person for ten minutes a day helps with memory.
"Socializing(交际)is just as useful as more traditional kinds of mental(脑力的) exercises in boosting memory and intellectual performan ce,” Oscar Ybarra, a psychologist at the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research, said in a statement.
In one investigation, they analyzed data on 3610 people, aged 24 to 96.
They find that the higher their level of social interaction(交流), the better their cognitive(认知的)functioning. Social interaction includes getting together or having phone chats with relatives, friends and neighbors.
In another experiment, the researchers conducted laboratory tests on 76 college students, aged 18 to 21, to evaluate(评估)how social interactions and mental exercises influenced the results of memory and intellectual performance tests. The students were divided into three groups: the social interaction group had
a discussion of a social issue for 10 minutes before taking the tests; the mental activities group completed three tasks (including a reading comprehension exercise and a crossword puzzle) before the tests; and a control group(对照组)watched a 10-minute film of the Seinfeld television show.
"We found that short-term social interaction lasting for just 10 minutes improved the students' intellectual performance as much as working on so-called ‘mental' activities for the same amount of time,” Ybarra said.
The study was expected to be published in the February issue of the journal Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin.
( )37. What does the underlined word “boosting" in the second paragraph probably mean?
A. Improving.
B. Reducing.
C. Preventing.
D. Training. ( )38. Which is not included in social interaction?
A. Having a talk with a neighbor.
B. Attending a birthday party.
C. Watching TV at home alone.
D. Calling your classmates.
( )39. What's the purpose of the experiment on 76 college students?
A. To judge the influence of social interaction on memory and intelligence.
B. To find out what is real social interaction.
C. To learn how much time is needed for social interaction.
D. To show the function of people's cognition.
( )40. What's the main idea of the passage?
A. Mental exercises make your memory better.
B. Different people have different ways of communication.
C. Communicating with others keeps you healthy.
D. Social interaction makes you smart.
